It’s November, it’s cold and getting dressed in the morning or facing the prospect of venturing out into the dark is against all our hygge instincts. Staying in our pyjamas would be our go-to, if we didn’t have so many *real-life things* to do. But this week, Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss and Sarah Jessica Parker have all demonstrated that you can go out in your comfort clothes, and still look stylish- even when the 'going out' part involves a party. ‘Cheats!’ you cry, ‘it’s not possible!’ Well it is, evidently, if we just invest in the right kinds of comfort clothes.

Last night, Kate Moss had a party to go to, the launch of the swish new Coach House on Regent Street. On a Thursday night in November, we’d have at least a bit of a moan before frantically trying to think of something to wear. But instead of getting all done up and attempting a cocktail dress, she simply threw on some leather shorts and tights (a combo that she’s officially telling us is back) with her snuggly statement jumper, and walked out the door looking great.

Likewise, Victoria Beckham managed to go out for dinner looking polished, when actually wearing pyjamas. These weren’t the same cereal-encrusted flannel pyjamas that we’d like to assume she slobs around the house in, but rather a (clean!) silk pair. As soft and easy as their for-the-sofa counterpart, the set has a subtle print and turquoise piping that smartens up its relaxed silhouette to the point where it feels positively suit-like.

Sarah Jessica Parker, too, was all about a comfy-yet-together look as she went out in Manhattan on Tuesday, wearing a blazer-cardigan hybrid with paneled Tory Sport tracksuit bottoms. With its subtle lapels, SJP’s cardigan looks instantly more polished than the average Nana knit, while the slim cut of the trousers means that they don’t read like trackies, even if they are. Throw in a smart designer bag and some sparkly shoes, and, voila, any slovenly sartorial intentions are completely disguised. All in all ,it was the ideal desk-to-disco look.

So pyjamas, slubby jumpers and tracksuits; all fashion-world ‘offenders’ that you would have previously thought were banned from everyday wear, yet all being sported by three of the most stylish women in the world this week. With a few savvy choices in cut and detail, we reckon that this gives us the green light to now get away with hibernation-snug outfits at any time of the day, and all the way through to March.

And here are four polished-yet-comfy pieces to add to your wardrobe now…

Zara's drawn-waist trousers feel like jogging bottoms. Wear these with a skinny black jumper and block heel boots to work thwen swap in some sprarkly heels by night.
